Sharing standardized data is critical, not only to meet U.S. FDA requirements but to also help enable the traceability and interoperability needed to do business efficiently with trading partners. In this session, hear about the tools and resources created by industry members, GS1 US, and FMI to support organizations as they work toward the regulatory requirements defined for January 20, 2026. Additionally, both FMI and GS1 US will be asking for the industry to identify and prioritize gaps in guidance and educational offerings the community needs.
View this digital seminar to hear what is available for use, and share your thoughts and insights on what is still essential to support industry in meeting the January 2026 deadline. Join Hilary Thesmar, Chief Science Officer, FMI, and Liz Sertl, Senior Director, Community Engagement, GS1 US, as they highlight industry tools and guidance available for use today as well as collect your thoughts and suggestions on additional resources desired to support your organization’s efforts in implementing enhanced traceability processes.
